Let's reduce food waste! Instead of throwing away your turkey giblets, transform them into a Turkey Giblet Broth full of flavour?

Ingredients

  • 15ml (1 tbsp) butter
  • 5ml (1 tsp) vegetable oil
  • 1 turkey’s giblets
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1g (1 tsp) dried thyme

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the butter and oil in a medium-sized stock pot.

  2. 2

    Fry the giblets on all sides until golden brown. Remove the giblets from the pan and set aside. 

  3. 3

    Tip the onion, carrot, celery and garlic into the stockpot and fry the vegetables for 5 minutes or until softened.

  4. 4

    Pour in 1.5L (6 cups) of water, along with the bay leaf, dried thyme and reserved giblets.

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer. 

  6. 6

    Cook for 1 hour, skimming the froth every now and then. The aim is to halve the amount of liquid, so that the flavour intensifies.

  7. 7

    Strain the stock through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Store in the fridge overnight and use as you see fit in recipes such as soups, gravies and casseroles. Alternatively, freeze in practical batches for future use.
